Thorough inspection of your chimney
For some, your chimney works all year round, but it’s especially crucial in the winter months. Over time, debris, soot, and creosote build-up. Sometimes, these aren’t always visible to the naked eye, which is why a CCTV inspection is necessary. Using high quality cameras, we can explore the deepest recesses of your chimney, identifying potential hazards or damage you would never notice yourself.
From blockages to cracks, there is a lot that a CCTV inspection can identify. Over time, these issues can develop and cause long-term damage to your home.
Preventing Fires and Carbon Monoxide
Having worked as a firefighter, I have first-hand experience of the devastating consequences of improper chimney maintenance. Creosote, a tar-like substance that builds up in chimneys, is highly flammable. One spark could be disastrous. A CCTV inspection identifies dangerous creosote levels, allowing for proper cleaning before it becomes a fire hazard.
Additionally, a blocked chimney can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, a silent, odourless gas killer. A thorough inspection will highlight any structural issues or obstructions that could prevent harmful gases from escaping your home.
